  1. First thought, holy shit Bijan is fucking fast. Next thought, fuck you Tom Herman.
  2. Last night was good, it was a bit rough when she woke up early this morning. She still can't move her hind legs, but now I can actually feel tension when I touch her achilles and her tail is not as limp. Yesterday when I touched her achilles and tail they were so soft with no resistance. She likes to rest her head on my leg and wants to play but I can tell that she's in pain. I joined a neuro dog group and someone suggested that it may have been an FCE (spinal stroke?) since it came on so suddenly, the symptoms do match up. I'll be sure to bring that up with the vet tomorrow and see what our options are.
  3. I did read that pneumonia in canines can cause lameness and even blindness in some cases, it's just so weird. Then the situation with her feet, her toes are swollen pretty bad from her nail injuries. I took off from work all week, I'm going to take off and call in on Monday, the vet is supposed to call me on Monday too.
  4. I may have to put my girl down. Everything was cool on Tuesday, she was running around playing, we had a training session. The following morning I went to check on her and she was very lethargic and was having trouble breathing. My buddy helped me rush her to the vet and she was diagnosed with pneumonia. It looks like the pneumonia part is in the clear, however a new major issue is her hind leg lameness, she can't walk or stand on her own. The vet tech called me yesterday and said that she tore all of her nails on her back feet while trying to stand, blood was everywhere. She doesn't even move her legs and when I flick her tail it's limp. The vet is concerned about possible nerve damage (but how though?). I did see her move her foot ever so slightly when I put a blanket over her after I brought her home, I bought an orthopedic bed for her so she can just be comfortable. She's alert, eating and drinking fine, and even tries to play but the pain meds and antibiotics make her a bit drowsy. Her feet and toes are really swollen from injury to her nails from trying to stand, even if she could stand she probably wouldn't be able to due to the swelling. It's just crazy that she was running and jumping like nothing was wrong on Tuesday and them bam, this happens. She has had hip displaysia since she was young, she's a month shy of turning 8. Even with the hip problems she was a very athletic dog. I'm wracking my brain as to trying to figure out what happened, because even if a dog is in pain from hip or knee problems they can still move their back legs. It's just a question of quality of life at this point, she is an older large breed dog and I hate for her to struggle and suffer. She's home and comfortable, no longer in that small ICU kennel. I'll continue to monitor her and look for signs of improvement, if not then I'll have to make that call with the vet, something I haven't prepared myself for. An older pic and the most recent:
  5. The last four episodes of this season did more for Star Wars than the entire sequel trilogy did in three feature length movies.
  6. Loeffler memorized statements and is going to recite them no matter what the question is. She's like an android up there.
  7. LMAO @ the K-State fan. I need a gif of that
  8. Juwan should walk back to Austin after that.
  9. Well shit, I dozed off and I wakeup after Bijan busts a 75 yard run.
  10. This is the worst K-State team I've seen in a long time.
  11. I'm from Port Arthur, still live here as a matter of fact. It is depressing, Jefferson County as a whole is kinda depressing. The city is obsessed with building further out to mid-county and the downtown has been neglected for decades. Rita did a number on us and Harvey came and finished the job, a lot of people haven't returned. A lot of people my age moved to Houston because there's simply more to do out there. We do have good football and basketball teams though. Kids that come out of the triangle are usually dogs on the court or field.
  12. At 54 Tyson is still one of the most dangerous men on the planet. Snoop should do the commentating for all major fights. Him singing Precious Lord when Nate got knocked down the 2nd time was hilarious.
  13. Ricky keeps it all the way 100, there's no bullshitting or pussyfooting around with him. That's why he's one of my favorite Horns of all time.
